Betrayal is a common biblical occurrence, yet it is seldom talked about or preached on.
Betrayal is a common experience in church leadership, yet, again, it is seldom talked about or taught on.
This lack of conversation does not stop most leaders from being devastated by betrayal.
René Girard said, “We are never more blind than when we are doing violence in the name of God!†It is this blindness that obscures our vision of the mechanics and likelihood of betrayal.
In this book, Bishop F. Josephus (Joey) Johnson, II, uses his 45 years of church experience and extensive reading of anthropologist and theologian, René Girard, to give an explanation and set a proper expectation for betrayal.
Bishop F. Josephus (Joey) Johnson, II, has led one of Akron’s largest and most influential churches for 45 years. In 2004, he was awarded a unique graduate-level reading certificate in cultural anthropology and New Testament Interpretation, from Dr. Bruce Malina, former professor in the Theology Department of Creighton University. Dr. John Pilch and Dr. Bruce Malina conducted anthropological seminars at The House of the Lord for several years and mentored Bishop Johnson. Bishop Johnson has read more than 100 books on cultural anthropology that are centered on First-century, circum Mediterranean culture, when Jesus, the Christ was born, lived, died, and was resurrected and all the books of the New Testament were written.
Bishop Johnson has nine other books available on www.amazon.com.
